The setup I've gone for is the belt-and-braces most expensive one because it's our only broadband option here, so it's probably worth spending the money.

The antenna goes onto he chimney and connects directly (via about 20ft of cable) to the router. The SIM card goes in the router. So there's no need for a dongle at all.

What's mildly amusing is that, so far as I knew, the cell was only 7.2Mbps capable, so the router I went for is also 7.2Mbps capable.

However the connection seemed a bit quick tonight so I ran a test still using my E367 and Edimax router, and it's flying along at over 9Mbps downstream with all the previous kit as it was, and ping times in the 40s and 50s. Which isn't actually possible. Unless the cell got upgraded on the same day the router got delivered. I might need to rethink that router option Though that said, I couldn't find any HSPA+ capable ones anyway.

The other option is to go for one of the "panel antenna" type things - you put the modem inside it and put it outside - or, an antenna which acts as as an extender for the dongle; on the E367 there's a flap on the side you can plug an external antenna into.

edimax workks great, i use it for my home broad band and play online with no problems at all.

I never use my 15 gb a month so i do not even bother having a land line.

The GSM and 3G antenna will be suitable for Huawei E353 Modem.to strenght the signals
